MON-009 CLINICOPATHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATIONS OF INTRARENAL VASCULAR LESIONS IN SEVERE LUPUS NEPHRITIS

摘要

Intense immunosuppression with steroid and additional cytotoxic agent resulted in stabilization of renal function and decrease in proteinuria in most cases and progression of IgA nephropathy was seen in only 7.5% at a mean follow up period of 45 months. Our results indicate that intense immunosuppression monitored carefully may have substantial benefit in terms of retarding progression of IgA nephropathy.
